Spring Equinox March 20 2023 – The Equinoxes are the only time when both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres experience roughly equal amounts of daytime and nighttime. On Earth, there are two equinoxes every year: one around March 21 and another around September 22. This is when the Earth’s axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in this “nearly” equal amount of daylight and darkness. This year, the Spring Equinox is on Monday, March 20, 2023.

Spring Equinox March 20 2023 is a Time for Detoxification!

Many people schedule a regular cleanse at this time to enjoy the benefits of greater energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, weight loss and improved mood. Indeed, many naturopaths consider that the Equinox is the optimum time for a cleansing detoxification. A quarterly cleanse can help with the elimination of toxins and cleansing of the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system and bowel. When these areas of the body are not functioning at their optimum, poor skin, hair, nails, bad breath and lack of energy can result. It is considered in certain spiritual circles that fasting or cleansing during the Equinox and Solstice is more effective than at other time. It is believed that the Equinox affects the thickness of the blood and when the blood is thinner, it is a good time to cleanse. The blood moves faster and therefore speeds the elimination of toxins.
